Massie says DOJ hiding behind 'strawman' Epstein victims argument in refusal to release files

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said the Trump administration was using concern over releasing victim information as a cover for not releasing the entirety of the files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Well, look, that’s a ‘strawman.’ Ro and I carefully crafted this legislation so that the victims’ names will be redacted and that no child pornography will be released. So they’re hiding behind that. But we’re trying to get justice for the victims and transparency for America,” Massie said on NBC News’s Meet the Press.
